Abstract |
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder that affects 10–20% of the world’s population. Therefore, the discovery of drugs for the treatment of AD is important for human health. Hispidulin (HPD; also known as scutellarein 6-methyl ether or dinatin) is a natural flavone that exerts anti-inflammatory effects. In the present study, the effectiveness of HPD on AD-like skin inflammation was investigated. We used a mouse AD model through repeated exposure of mice to 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene and house dust mite extract (Dermatophagoides farinae extract, DFE) to the ears. In addition, tumor necrosis factor-α and interferon-γ-activated keratinocytes (HaCaT cells) were used to investigate the underlying mechanism of HPD action. Oral administration of HPD alleviated AD-like skin inflammations: it reduced ear thickness; serum immunoglobulin (Ig)E, DFE-specific IgE, and IgG2a levels; and inflammatory cell infiltration. HPD reduced the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines through inhibition of signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 nuclear factor-κB in HaCaT cells. Taken together, these results suggest that HPD could be a potential drug candidate for the treatment of AD.
